Ocular health has been determined by scientists and physicians to be a key indicator in detecting early stages of health risks in certain conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, eye cancer, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and eye diseases like cataracts and glaucoma. Early detection means early intervention, which, over time, reduces overall medical costs and absenteeism.

According to a study by doctors Kent Daum and Katherine Clore, employers gain as much as $7 for every $1 they spend on vision benefits. They also determined that minor vision problems can reduce employee productivity by up to 20%. Workers with impaired vision may take longer to complete projects. Routine eye exams can boost employee productivity and create a win-win for the employee and the employer.
